November 26, 200223 yr Hi Ilan,at least on my system, the SR1 does NOT solve the problem.Many thanks & see ya!Phil (LOWW)
November 26, 200223 yr OK, I have been using this for a couple days now and I can offer a few thoughts:1. The RTOT estimates look to be right on. I use the assumed temperature given by the dispatch sheet and when input into the FMC the de-rated N1 thrust for T/O is exactly the same as stated in the dispatch sheet. Good job on this one (though I don't understand how it is calculated :-))2. Fuel burn estimates seem to be a little high, I think around 10-20%. I am still working on this to see if it is consistently high.3. Trim predictions seem to work pretty well. I have always used much higher trim settings on takeoff but perhaps I was overdoing it. I will continue playing around with this to see.4. Already mentioned the local time/UTC problem.5. V-speeds are correct, or at most 1 knot off...no problem there.Overall, an EXCELLENT piece of work! It is extraordinarily helpful in flight planning. My two requests:1. The lbs converter2. ETOPS fuel planningThanks again,Damon
